I recently had my engagement party at the Worlds Fair Marina, with nearly 200 guests. Initially I was skeptical about going there due to some mediocre reviews, and of course my limited sense of directions. However, upon making it there w/out getting lost, and having my initial meeting with the manager, I was sold without a shadow of doubt. The manager worked closely with my fiancé and me to personalize our special day, keeping our families wishes (and demands) in mind and always suggesting solutions and new ideas. \r
\r
At the day of our event, the manager was able to accommodate 10-15 extra guests, without disturbing our current set up (we had pre-arranged seating) and w/out getting anyone upset. Having him around kept my fiancé and me calm and relaxed. We were so busy mingling and greeting our guests, we didn’t get to eat. The manager had food sent to our table after dinner closed, and assured it stayed warm until we had the chance to sit down and eat. \r
\r
Throughout the night, I saw the manager check in with our parents and my fiancé and I to make sure everything was ok, and if we needed anything. We all greatly appreciated that. \r

My fiancé is a big-time NYC foodie, and I was worried he may not enjoy the food at the WFM. We had a food tasting, which went very well … and we cherry picked a personalized menu, based on our event theme. Food was great at the day of our event, we have since catered from WFM for family events at home. \r
\r
My fiancé and I, our families, future-in-laws, our friends and guests had a wonderful time, thanks to an wonderful manager, great venue, an amazing chef and a beautiful view!!!\r
\r
I will go back to the Worlds Fair Marina for my next event in a heart-beat. \r
Pros: Manager, Food, Venue and View
Cons: Slightly difficult to get to
